I guess it's always good to check syslog when you've got a problem. Your
"Any explicit error messages?" question
prompted me to do so. It turns out that telnetd wasn't even installed! So, I
ran the very cool apt-get and installed
it and I'm now able to telnet to the box. Telnet is only a temporary thing
as I will be using SSH. I just wanted
to use telnet so I can login and familiarize myself with Debian. I just
installed it for the first time yesterday. I'm
liking it so far. I find the apt package managing tool to be very cool.
Thanks for your time.
